Google has had enough with workplace activism?

A rather key distinction in your examples.  One, you said take the day off to protest, meaning you're not on the clock.  These people were on the clock.  Also, would the protest be you sitting in your bosses office as these clowns where?  Two, it is up to the employer, within applicable law, to decide how much political expression they allow at work.  At our work you can't do it at all.  If you choose to go over the line established by your employer you are setting yourself up for discipline up to, and including termination.

I think that Google was right to take the high road by not expressing weather they agree or disagree with the cause being acted on, and implementing their "Mission First" policy.
